Brantford, ON, Canada – Fire following explosion at paint factory is extinguished by sprinkler system
The blast caused a wall relief panel on the side of the building to pop open, fire prevention officer Scott Hardwick said Friday. Walls in buildings like the paint factory are designed to pop out to relieve built-up pressure and prevent entire buildings from exploding, he added.
There are a lot highly inflammable materials in the plant, including solvents and paints.
The fire marshal’s office is called in to investigate incidents involving an explosion, Hardwick said.
Firefighters were called to the plant on Dec. 18, 2014 following an explosion and small fire. One male worker sustained minor bruises to his shoulder after being pushed into a wall during the explosion.
The worker didn’t require medical attention.
